The poll says I already voted!! But I have zero recollection of this. It must say everything about my first few months then: totally focused on making it day by day. Reading about alcohol, thinking about alcohol, wishing I could forget 'how many days since quitting'. There was no 'me' there, just the 'person quitting'. I also gave up smoking.
As I approach my first anniversary I am now slowly rediscovering the self-respect I once had. Hopefully, once I manage the self-respect, I can work on my self-confidence (the one I never had).
